There is something about partying that everybody wants to have: it is the engaging with people, being with somebody, meeting new people and having some fun. But I think it is interesting that different people like to party differently. I noticed that there is a big mass of people who like to party quiet similar: going out to a pub, the street, a bar or to a disco drinking alcohol and just having fun doing (mostly) silly stuff. Sometimes there are some serious conversations and there are people who say that while you are drunk the conversations are ‘deeper’ and more philosophically than without alcohol.

Since I don not drink any alcohol —I never drunk much and I have not drunk any, excluding the glass of champagne at new years eve, for over 5 years now— I have some different ides of party. At least the alcohol is one part of it. I am totally OK with other people partying with alcohol and I can have fun with many of them, the difference is just that I do not really enjoy it as much as I do other styles of ‘party’.

I have much more fun in joining together at home or a friends place and cooking dinner, grilling, playing board games or watching a movie, going to the cinema and sitting down afterwards at a nice bar to talk a little, going to a ‘real concert’ (not a cover band) or going on a trip together to another city where an event is taking place.

I understand that it is different but at the same time it is the same. Everybody wants to interact with other people. The once go out to a disco, others go to restaurants and I have my preferences. The only thing thats a little hard about it is to find the people who enjoy the same as you do. For many its easy cause they like the same as most do but for some others it is not that easy cause they like something different than the mass of our population.

It is kinda like with the career —I already wrote about it—: do you have to fit one hole or can you dig your own and others join you, can you take the smaller hole where less people are digging or do you have to dig where everybody else is digging. I would say you can go your own way but most of the time you have to be prepared to be alone for quiet some time and push yourself a little to at least get to know others at ‘normal’ party places.
